One of the benefits of working for VMware technical marketing, is that you have your own lab.
Luckily my lab is hosted by an external datacenter, which helps me avoid a costly power-bill at home each month
However, that means I need to connect to my lab remotely.
As a MAC user I used Remote Desktop Connection for MAC from Microsoft. One of the limiting factors of this RDP for MAC is the limited resolution of 1400 x 1050 px. The screens at home have a minimum resolution 2560 x 1440 px. This first world problem bugged me until today!
Today I found CoRD – http://cord.sourceforge.net/. CoRD allows me to connect to my servers with a resolution 2500 x 1600, using the full potential of my displays at home.
Another create option is the hotkey function, using a key combination I spin up a remote desktop connection. I love these kinds of shortcuts that help me reduce time spend navigating throughout the UI.
If you are using a MAC and often RDP into your lab, I highly recommend to download CoRD.
Btw, it’s free

F>rank,
give a try to Royal T>S>X: it’s much better than CoRD.

I have been using CORD for a while and it is really good. The only issue i have found is that is doesnt like the newer RDP on 2012. Otherwise an excellent 1 window piece of software.
CoRD can’t do the higher security RDP with NLA. The only free OSX client that I’ve found that will do NLA is Microsoft’s.
I used CoRD for a long time, but I got frustrated with the lack of development. No proper full-screen, no cut & paste between OS X/Windows, and crashes. Not as many crashes as the previous version, but enough to annoy me.
Eventually I decided to pay up, and I bought Jump Desktop. Cost at least twice as much as I was comfortable with paying, but it does the job, and doesn’t cause me any problems. The reduced frustrations make it worth the price to me.
